South Slavic Women’s Transgenerational Trauma Healing through Oral Memory Practices: Women War Crimes and War Survivors explains that Kolo-Informed Trauma Treatment is a clinical, cultural, psychological, and neurobiological approach that draws upon the rich scientific UNESCO intangible cultural heritage and embodied practices of the South Slavic Kolo-circle movement format or somatic folk dance. The author argues that Slavic oral memory practices are not in fact worthless or outdated in healing trauma. The inclusion of the little-known or rarely researched women who have experienced war crimes and war trauma demonstrates the intrinsic depth and female indigenous resources aligning with many scientific interdisciplinary fields and women’s human rights. Central to the Kolo-Informed Trauma Treatment is the profound recognition of the importance of women’s cultural memory and somatic oral traditions to evolve towards communal healing. Women’s memory narrative enables the South Slavic people to have profound communal approaches to offer insights into the effects of war trauma, advocating paths towards thriving. Through a recalibration with the relationship of women as valued resources and prominence as creators of healing cultures, South Slavic women’s communal healing practices, if orchestrated on a planetary scale, elaborate inclusive dynamic homeostasis.

Free Download Sarah Comyn, "Worlding the south: Nineteenth-century literary culture and the southern settler colonies "
English | ISBN: 1526152886 | 2021 | 448 pages | PDF | 30 MB
This collection brings together for the first time literary studies of British colonies in nineteenth-century Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, South America, Southeast Asia, and the South Pacific Islands. Drawing on hemispheric studies, Indigenous studies, and southern theory to decentre British and other European metropoles, the collection offers a groundbreaking challenge to national paradigms and traditional literary periodisations and canons by prioritising southern cultural networks in multiple regional centres from Cape Town to Dunedin. Worlding the south examines the dialectics of literary worldedness in ways that recognise inequalities of power, textual and material violence, and literary and cultural resistance. The collection revises current literary histories of the ‘British world’ by arguing for the distinctiveness of settler colonialism in the southern hemisphere, and by incorporating Indigenous, diasporic, and south-south perspectives.

Free Download Chitra Sankaran, "Women, Subalterns, and Ecologies in South and Southeast Asian Women’s Fiction"
English | ISBN: 0820360872 | 2022 | 240 pages | PDF | 10 MB
In recent decades, East Asia has gained prominence and has become synonymous with Asia, while other Asian regions, such as South and Southeast Asia, have been subsumed under it. The resultant overgeneralization has meant that significant aspects of the global ecological crisis as they affect these two regions have been overlooked. Chitra Sankaran refocuses the global lens on these two rapidly developing regions of Asia. Combining South Asian and Southeast Asian philosophical views and folk perspectives with mainstream ecocritical and ecofeminist theories, she generates a localized critical idiom that qualifies and subverts some established theoretical assumptions.
